Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] compile with -funit-at-a-time option of gcc

This patch makes xen compiled with gcc option
-funit-at-a-time if supported. This option is available for
gcc 3.4 and upward, which reduces the .text binary size considerably.
I haven't come across this option before. What does it actually do?
Considers whole file at a time when doing optimisation. It's the
default on gcc4 with -O2 and above. We probably don;t want to enable it
before a general move to gcc4 as it does break stuff (albeit stuff that
was buggy/broken already ;-) ). Adding another skanky CFLAG that will
be defaulted anyway in future, to get the benefit of maybe subtly
breaking Xen, doesn;t sound like a big win to me.
